A teen model is especially prone to bad skin. Constant use
of different make-ups can take it’s tole on a model. Here are some tips to cope
as a teen model. Acne is common during puberty when hormones go into overdrive,
causing the skin to overproduce sebum. Because many oil-producing glands are on
the forehead, nose, and chin, this area — the T-zone — is where a person is
most prone to pimples.

Don't pop pimples. It's tempting, but popping pimples can
push infected material further into the skin, leading to more swelling and
redness, and even scarring. If you notice a pimple coming before a big event,
like the prom, a dermatologist can often treat it for you with less risk of
scarring or infection. A big teen modelling no no!

If
you're concerned about acne, talk to a dermatologist. Dermatologists offer a
range of treatments that help to prevent and acne scars. A dermatologist can
help you find the treatment method that's best for you and can also give you
lots of useful tips for dealing with acne and caring for your skin type. Some
salons and spas have trained skin specialists, who can offer advice and skin
care treatments. Follow Thomas Street Studios on twitter and read the official modelling advice blogs!
